AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

The slapmodrdn2mods function in modrdn.c in OpenLDAP 2.4.22 does not check the return value of a call to the smrnormalize function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a modrdn call with an RDN string containing invalid UTF-8 sequences, which triggers a free of an invalid, uninitialized pointer in the slapmodsfree function, as demonstrated using the Codenomicon LDAPv3 test suite.

SQL Injection
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

In OpenLDAP 2.x before 2.5.12 and 2.6.x before 2.6.2, a SQL injection vulnerability exists in the experimental back-sql backend to slapd, via a SQL statement within an LDAP query. This can occur during an LDAP search operation when the search filter is processed, due to a lack of proper escaping.

It was reported [1],[2] that OpenLDAP's slapd daemon would crash when it received a request to modify a DN and submits an empty old DN in the request. No binding is necessary, so even an anonymous user could cause slapd to crash.

This was reported against OpenLDAP 2.4.23 and was fixed in 2.4.24 [3].
